9. THE PROCESS
knowledge and had the
Jenner decided to test this empirical
idea of inoculating healthy people with cowpox to confer
immunity against the dreaded disease.
On May 14th, 1796 he extracted pus from a pustule on the
hand of Sarah Nelmes, a milkmaid who had contracted
smallpox from his dairy cow, and inoculated a healthy 8 year
old boy named James Phipps.
The young boy developed a mild illness between the 7th and
the 9th day. A vesicle formed at the points of inoculation,
which disappeared without any complication. On July 1st, he
inoculated the boy with the dreaded smallpox, but he didn’t
fell sick. THE VACCINE HAD BEEN DISCOVERED.
